Possible update to consider #6

Closed madpink closed 8 years ago

Numeric keys may be desired, the keepNumeric parameter would override "isNumericalArray". (I've made this change in my own version of easyJson)

The following is an example of what the JSON would look like, downloaded from CouchDB.

In this example, the key "call" is a JSON object the consists of 4 keys (1,2,3,4) each with a JSON object as its value. The numeric keys are treated as strings.

For my purposes in this program, the number value is significant because it represents a specific order. Saving to JSON wouldn't be a problem, because the array that would be created would retain the order below. However, importing back into Livecode can (and most often does) change the sequence.

I honestly have no idea if this an issue other people would care about, obviously there are ways around this.

Below is what the output would look like without the keepNumeric param:
